What are you doing for your sleigh this Holiday season?
Anybody treating themselves or their sleigh/E55 to anything special for the Christmas holidays?

I'm giving my E55 a nice detail, I will personally do it myself and invest a few hours of time washing it, claying it, (will not be polishing it), waxing it, and vacuuming the interior (especially the air vents).

But before I treat the E55 to a nice detail, I'll be treating myself to a special evening with family, friends, and great food!

This was the following, which was all delayed due to the NHTSA announcement:

FSP
Headers with mid-pipe
LSD
Headgaskets (because I'm removing my heads)
Head bolts (because I'm removing my heads)
valve cover gaskets
supercharger plenum spacers
valve stem seals (cause they're leaking, taking the heads off to do them)
motor mounts
rear main seal
power steering pump
retune

you to Hate
I'm installing the following:

UPD camber and toe links
Ported heads
306 gears
Smaller turbo housings (for quicker spool)
Meth turned ON
Hoosiers
Possible drive shaft
And of course a couple more psi and that's it. I won't push this stock motor any further.
